Product Description
Synopsis
Created by writers Carole Hayman and Lou Wakefield, Irene Spencer and Vera Small - aka "the ladies" - are happily widowed and live in a world of church fetes and amateur dramatics. After meeting at Irene's daughter Lesley's wedding reception, they become firm - sometimes too firm - friends and so begins their extraordinary correspondence first recorded in "Ladies of Letters". In "More Ladies of Letters" we find Vera installed at Far Shores Trailer Park and Irene living the "high life" Down Under. In their constant missives to one another they share their ups and downs in true acerbic and forthright form - swapping family stories and subtle putdowns with ease and aplomb. Irresistible in its depiction of the foibles of female friendship, "More Ladies of Letters" is another sparkling collection of letters full of humour and vitriol in equal measure.

More Ladies of Letters is a duplicate
21 Sep 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
"More Ladies of Letters" has duplicate content as in the book "Ladies of Letters and More."
The titles are deceptive. I thought I was buying additional story line in "More Ladies of Letters." Instead it is the same copy that is included with "Ladies of Letters and More."
Save your money and just buy "Ladies of Letters and More."

Alan Bennet on acid!
27 Mar 2002
Format:Paperback
...Vera and Irene are matronly English women of a certain age who get up to all sorts of picaresque adventures aided and abetted by a cast of dysfunctional offspring, psychics, thieves, ageing lotharios and authority figures. They communicate entirely by letter and these were originally read (rather brilliantly) on UK radio by Prunella Scales and Patricia Routledge. They work very well on the page too and you can really appreciate the superb writing. I think this book would appeal to anyone who likes the sort of observational comedy of UK writers such Alan Bennett or Victoria Wood.
